Used as a source of difluoromethyl radicals in organic synthesis, enabling the introduction of difluoromethyl groups into various molecules. This is particularly valuable in the development of pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, where fluorinated groups can enhance metabolic stability, lipophilicity, and bioavailability. It serves as a reagent in radical difluoromethylation reactions under mild conditions, often compatible with complex substrates. Its ability to participate in metal-free or photoredox-catalyzed transformations makes it a versatile tool in modern synthetic chemistry.
